Why I Love Science

When we seek to understand the world around us, we become partners in understanding the story of how we came to be right here, right now, this moment, hurling perhaps unnoticed, through time and space on this tiny little rock we call home. Carl Sagan wrote, “In all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.” So share your joy and curiosity with everyone you meet. That’s what makes life worth living.
